123 Give You A Reward (2/2)
”Girl...hahaha! I was going to give you a gift, but it seems you have already received it, eh? Hahaha, what a coincidence!”
Hui Yin inched away. She respected her elders, but she feared the crazy ones. What if he abruptly attacked her? And he was still holding a bottle of beer.
Hui Yin had seen on the news how drunkards sometimes fight with each other by smashing beer bottles on their bodies, and the jagged pieces of glass that stabbed deep into their skin as they were rushed into the emergency room.
What a humiliating obituary it would be, for her to have survived nearly being hit by a bus only to end up being killed by the senile drunk old man whom she had saved.
The old man finally stopped laughing and took another swig from his bottle. The creases on his face became deeper as he glanced at her with a contemplative look.
”Hmm...but I still think that I need to give you a reward, girl. It seems that you have forgotten me, though you would remember it after a while. No helping it, I suppose. We'll have to see each other again.”
”Senior, there's really no need...” began Hui Yin, but he cut her off.
”Do you think I'm ignorant? I already gave you a gift, but you're still having some problems. Tsk, tsk. If I gave it to you, you should have been certain about that person for sure. Now, if you want a new one, you have to break the old one.”
Hui Yin stood up. She was starting to feel scared of this old man, since he looked so serious while talking nonsense.
”You'll recall me soon. And you'll seek for my help. But before that, there's no harm in a re-introduction. When we next meet, you have to call me by my name.”
Hui Yin had already backed a few steps away. ”Your name, Senior?”
She had no plans in telling him her name, but there shouldn't be any harm in hearing his.
The old man saluted her with his bottle.
”Girl, just call this old man of yours Yue Lao.”
